Anti-dhimmitude. Many other Islamic schools will have to be closed if this is the criterion: the teaching of "jihad and intolerance toward other religions." By Greg Simmons for FoxNews (thanks to Threat of Islam):
WASHINGTON — A congressionally mandated panel that promotes religious freedom is recommending the Bush administration close a Virginia-based Islamic school run by the Saudi government if school officials don't comply with demands to turn over textbooks that may include lessons on jihad and intolerance toward other religions."Significant concerns remain about whether what is being taught at the (school) promotes religious intolerance and may adversely affect the interests of the United States," said a report released Thursday by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.
Saudi embassy officials say the books long ago were cleaned up and made available to commission members, but the commissioners never bothered to go to The Islamic Saudi Academy in Northern Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C., to check them out for themselves.
I am certain that they have books at the school office for viewing and approval by infidels, who desperately want to believe in the peace and love stuff. The school knows what's coming and that they are being watched. The best thing to do would get to know a student, borrow a few Arabic books from him, copy them, and have someone who knows Arabic translate them. I am sure all of the hatred is there and more. I know someone who has connection with the Saudi Royal Family. In private, without Western ears, the king always begins his public prayers at gatherings asking Allah for the destruction of the Jews, and all infidels in the West, including those in America. So much for our friends. Does anyone really believe the textbooks have been changed? Like criminals, they literally have two sets of books, one set for stupid dhimmis and one set for Muslims.
If they're serious about removing the hate literature, they'll start by pulling the Koran.
Does anyone really expect Bush to close a Saudi operated and funded school? I wouldn't hold my breath.
Nothing to see here, folks: just the ranting of Islamophobics - just move along now – eyes forward - nothing for you to be the least bit concerned over – just another parochial school just like all the rest. This is why we allow 70 year old nuns to be considered as 'potential terriorist' and frisked by hijabed, TSA security agents. Lets all just continue the refrain:
“It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all,
It's a small world after all,”
"The best thing to do would get to know a student, borrow a few Arabic books from him, copy them, and have someone who knows Arabic translate them."
Here is a big problem with our government - they hired a bunch of muslims to do translations for us after 9/11. And there is a group that is being shunned from it because the muslims don't want to work with them - the Jews.
Now, this might have changed - but I don't know. I read this sometime between 2004-2005 - who the Feds hired as translaters.
The Jews know many languages especially the ones with dual citizenship between Israel and the USA. They would be ideal translators but because the muslims were given some special type of status - we don't want to OFFEND them - they got their way with banning Jews from working with them. Now, this being so very un-American especially after the 1960s/1970s laws banning such racism/prejudices that it is only the Feds who can get away with this sort of deplorable behavior.
Maybe someone else might know some more recent info. I am hoping our intelligence agencies are starting to get regular people conversing and reading in Arabic, and other Middle Eastern languages.
Any questions that you think should be asked?
FOX News wants to know what you would ask the Republican presidential candidates when they debate in Orlando, Fla., on Sunday, Oct. 21.
Please e-mail your question to debate@foxnews.com. Include your name, town, state and contact number for verification.
Please keep your question sharp, brief and to the point. And let us know which candidate you'd like us to ask.
Watch the debate live on FOX News Channel at 8 p.m. ET on Oct. 21 to see if your question was selected.
Lou Dobbs addressed this issue yesterday, too.
Apparently the reporter in the piece has been working on this for three years. But, I'm not sure he understands the underlying problem.
Here's another article on the same subject:
U.S. Could Shutdown Saudi School in Va.
http://www.wtop.com/?nid=600&sid=1271550
"We don't want Fairfax County going into a Catholic school saying 'let us see your textbooks.' This has to be handled very carefully. But if hatred and intolerance are actively being taught and inculcated in young people that's a different matter that has to be addressed."
Several advocacy groups in recent years have cited examples of inflammatory statements in religious textbooks in Saudi Arabia, including claims that a ninth-grade textbook reads that the hour of judgment will not come "until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them."
Do any of these folks have any idea that such hatred and intolerance are taken directly from the Qur'an and the Sunnah?
If they do, why not simply say so and force the American Muslim community into a corner with the words of Islam's own texts?
P.S. Abrog8,
I've sent such letters to each and every Republican and Democratic candidate for president. No response.
I'll send a politely worded query to the email address you provided.
Here's some text from the Saudi books.

And friendship in a Fifth Grade textbook on Monotheism, Hadith, Jurisprudence and Qur’anic Recitation. Students are instructed to be loyal to and befriend only other “monotheist believers” It teaches: • “It is not permitted to be a loyal friend to those who oppose God and His Prophet.”lxx• “Whoever obeys the Prophet and accepts the oneness of God cannot be loyal to those who oppose God and His Prophet, even if they are his closest relatives.”lxxi• “It is forbidden for a Muslim to be a loyal friend to someone who does not believe in God and His Prophet, or someone who fights the religion of Islam.”lxxii• “A Muslim, even if he lives far away, is your brother in religion. Someone who opposes God, even if he is your brother by family tie, is your enemy in religion.”lxxiiiThe Sixth Grade textbook on Monotheism, Hadith, Jurisprudence and Qur’anic Recitation commands students not to “cry” at funerals or “pray” at grave sites or construct mosques over graves, thus banning the mourning traditions of many Shiites and other Muslims: “Funeral prohibitions:1. It is forbidden to be angry upon bereavement, cry out loudly, tear one’s clothes, or beat one’s cheeks or other [parts of the body].2. It is forbidden to sit on graves, and walk on them.3. It is forbidden to pray at graves, with the exception of the funeral prayer.

244. It is not good to raise one’s voice during the funeral, even in mentioning the name of God or reading the Qur’an.5. It is forbidden to build mosques on graves.”lxxivThe Sixth Grade text on The History of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia contains a lesson on Palestine in which students are instructed that if the Muslims unite in a “fight” against the Jews they will be victorious over the Jews and their American and British allies, as they once were against Christian Crusaders. By linking a discussion of the Crusades with the Palestinian issue, the text can be easily read to mean that the “fight” could or should be a military one. A map of the region is provided but it labels Israel within its pre-1967 borders as “Palestine: Occupied 1948.• “Just as Muslims were successful in the past when they came together in a sincere endeavor to evict the Christian crusaders from Palestine, so will the Arabs and Muslims emerge victorious, God willing, against the Jews and their allies if they stand together and fight a true jihad for God, for this is within God’s power.”lxxv• “Who is the Muslim leader who defeated the Crusaders and liberated Jerusalem?”lxxvi• “What is the name of the battle in which he triumphed?”lxxvii• “Give another verse [from the Qur’an] that affirms God’s aid to the believers.”lxxviii• “Cite a noble hadith that explains the qualities of the Jews.”lxxixIn the Eighth Grade, the textbook on Monotheism warns against imitating the unbelievers and teaches pupils to spot “condemnable” characteristics in Jews. It teaches that unbelievers include Muslims who do not follow the Wahhabi practice of not building mosques at gravesites. • “The student notes some of the Jews' condemnable qualities.”lxxx• “The student is warned against imitating the Jews and Christians' excessive veneration of righteous men.”lxxxi• “The student gives examples of polytheism among members of this nation.”lxxxii• “They are the people of the Sabbath, whose young people God turned into apes, and whose old people God turned into swine to punish them.” “As cited in Ibn Abbas: The apes are Jews, the keepers of the Sabbath; while the swine are the Christian infidels of the communionof Jesus.”lxxxiii• “God told His Prophet, Muhammad, about the Jews, who learned from parts of God's book (the Torah and the Gospels) that God alone is worthy of worship. Despite this, they espouse falsehood through idol-worship, soothsaying, and sorcery. In doing so, they obey the devil. They prefer the people of falsehood to the people of the truth out of envy and hostility. This earns them condemnation and is a warning to us not to do as they did.”lxxxiv• “The Jews lost their religion and attacked the religion of Islam, which consists of accepting the oneness of God and the worship of Him alone.”lxxxv• “They are the Jews, whom God has cursed and with whom He is so angry that He will never again be satisfied [with them].lxxxvi

Some of them were made to worship the devil, and not God, through consecration, sacrifice, prayer, appeals for help, and other types of worship. Some of the Jews worship the devil. Likewise, some members of this nation worship devil, and not God.”lxxxvii• “Building mosques on graves is an expression of polytheism.”lxxxviii• “Some Muslim countries have seen the graves of righteous men venerated through the construction of mosques. Graves have even been worshipped. In doing this, they [Muslims] imitated the Christians.”lxxxix• “Note some condemnable characteristics of the Jews in the verse.”xc• “Activity: The student writes a composition on the danger of imitating the infidels, giving some examples of imitation among the students. He then presents it to his classmates.”xciA Ninth Grade Saudi textbook on Hadithteaches teenagers in apocalyptic terms that violence towards Jews, Christians and other unbelievers is sanctioned by God. It selectively cites a particularly inflammatory hadith about violence towards Jews and makes it broadly applicable, while failing to provide any historical context and ignoring other contradictory hadiths showing respect for Jews.xciiIt then directly ties this lesson to the Palestinians’ political situation:• “The clash between this [Muslim] community (umma) and the Jews and Christians has endured, and it will continue as long as God wills. In this hadith, Muhammad gives us an example of the battle between the Muslims and the Jews.”xciii• “Narrated by Abu Hurayrah: The Prophet said, The hour [of judgment] will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them. [It will not come] until the Jew hides behind rocks and trees. [It will not come] until the rocks or the trees say, 'O Muslim! O servant of God! There is a Jew behind me. Come and kill him.’ Except for the gharqad, which is a tree of the Jews.”xciv• “It is part of God's wisdom that the struggle between the Muslim and the Jews should continue until the hour [of judgment].”xcv• “The good news for Muslims is that God will help them against the Jews in the end, which is one of the signs of the hour [of judgment].”xcvi• “Muslims will triumph because they are right. He who is right is always victorious, even if most people are against him.”xcvii• “God will help Muslims if their intentions are sincere, if they are united, if they adhere to the law of their Lord, if they obey His judgments, and if they are patient and enduring.”xcviii• “The Jews and Christians are enemies of the believers, and they cannot approve of Muslims.”xcix• “This hadith showed one of the qualities of the Jews. It is: [fill in the blank.]”c• “Help your classmates to give some examples of how our Muslim brothers suffer in Palestine and to propose some ways for you to ease their sufferings.”ciA Tenth Grade textbook on Monotheismcontains a lengthy discussion condemning as “polytheists” other Islamic traditions that interpret the Qur’an differently, alluding to

26other Sunnis, Shiites and Sufis, who together comprise the majority of Muslims residing in Saudi Arabia, as well as in the world at large. The followers of the Asharite doctrine (Sunni Muslims found throughout the world) and the Maturidi doctrine (Sunni Muslims found primarily in Pakistan and India), who comprise millions of Sunni Muslims in the world, are referenced by name as “polytheists,” or idol worshipers: • It states that the founders and followers of these Sunni doctrines are “bad predecessors to bad successors.”cii• It condemns them either for not interpreting the text of the names and characters of God in a literal way, “such as interpreting the face [of God] as His essence, and His hand as the blessing He bestows”; or for “believ[ing] that the [scriptures] do not mean what their literal meaning would suggest.”ciiiAnother textbook for boys for Tenth Grade on Hadith and Islamic Culture contains a lesson on the “Zionist Movement.” It is a curious blend of wild conspiracy theories about Masonic Lodges, Rotary Clubs, and Lions Clubs with anti-Semitic invective. It asserts that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is an authentic document and teaches students that it reveals what Jews really believe. It blames many of the world’s wars and discord [fitna, in Arabic] on the Jews. While easy to dismiss as loopy, these conspiracy theories are gaining ground. In its charter, Hamas has adopted conspiracy theories that mirror virtually point by point those given in this Saudi textbook.civThis year, the U.S. Holocaust Museum opened an exhibition on the Protocols, identifying it as “dangerous” and noting “despite countless exposures of the Protocols as a fraud, the myth of a Jewish world conspiracy has retained incredible power for Nazis and others who seek to spread hatred of Jews.” As the exhibition shows, Hitler used the Protocols to indoctrinate Nazi Youth. This Saudi Tenth Grade textbook states: • “Freemasonry is covertly Jewish. It puts forward general, humanist slogans, and non-Jews may rally to its cause. It is a secular, atheist, secret movement that serves the Jews indirectly. It is the secret power that creates circumstances and conditions for the Jews. As such, it helps Zionism to achieve its aims.”cv• “Goals of the Zionist Movement1. Instill a fighting spirit among the Jews, as well as religious and nationalist fanaticism to challenge [other] religions, nations, and peoples.2. Establish Jewish control over the world. The starting point for this is the establishment of their government in the promised land, which stretches from the Nile to the Euphrates.3. Incite rancor and rivalry among the great powers so that they fight one another, and kindle the fire of war among states so that all states are weakened and their state arises.”cvi• The Protocols of the Elders of Zion “were discovered in the 19th century. The Jews have tried to deny them, but there are many proofs of their veracity and their origin among the elders of Zion.”cvii• “The following points summarize the protocols:1. Undermine the foundation of the existing international community and its systems to enable Zionism to gain sole control over the world.2. Eliminate Christian nationalities, religions, and nations in particular.

273. Work to increase the corruption of existing governments in Europe. Zionism believes in the corruption and collapse of these governments.4. Gain control over the means of publication, propaganda, and newspapers; use gold to incite unrest; and exploit people's desires and spread depravity.”cviii• “The decisive proof of the veracity of the protocols and the infernal Jewish plans they contain is that the plans, plots, and conspiracies they list have been carried out. Whoever reads the protocols -- and they emerged in the 19th century -- will realize today how much of what they described has been implemented.”cix• “Examples of how the Zionists achieve their goals:1. Sedition, ruses, and conspiracies throughout history. Examples include…a. The French Revolution: The Jews exploited the French Revolution to fight against religions, break down values, and spread meaningless slogans. They had a hand in planning the revolution and its code of morals.b. The First World War: The Jews played a role in starting it.c. Bringing down the Ottoman Islamic caliphate: the role of the Jews of Donma in this is no secret.d. The Bolshevik Russian revolution against Tsarist rule. It is known that the roots of Marxist thought are Jewish. Karl Marx was a Jew from Germany.”cx• “You can hardly find an example of sedition in which the Jews have not played a role.”cxi• “Attempting to inundate peoples with vice and rampant prostitution. The Jews have taken control of this trade and they try to spread it. They manage bars in Europe and America, as well as in Israel itself.”cxii“Gaining control over literature and the arts; spreading degenerate, pornographic literature; and encouraging perverted trends in literature, thought, and the arts.”“Gaining control over the film industry in the Western world and elsewhere.”“Fraud, bribery, theft, and swindles.”cxiii• “Destructive Movements that Zionism has used to achieve its aims.1. Freemasonry. This is a secret Jewish organization that works surreptitiously to advance larger Jewish interests. Masonry is a deceptive word that fools listeners into thinking that it is a noble profession, since it means "free builders" and its slogan is "freedom, brotherhood, and equality."2. B'nai B'rith, or sons of the covenant. This group was founded in 1834 in America.3. International Lions Clubs. "Lions" means lions. These are Masonic clubs based in America and they have secret agents all over the world.4. Rotary Clubs. They were founded in 1905 in Chicago, America, and then spread all over the world.”cxivThe Tenth Grade text on Jurisprudence teaches that, in law, the life of non-Muslims (as well as women, and, by implication, slaves) is worth a fraction of that of a “free Muslim male.”cxvBlood-money is money paid to the victim or the victim’s heirs for murder or injury.

The blood money for a Muslim woman is half of the blood money for a male Muslim, and the blood money for an infidel woman is half of the blood money for a male infidel.”cxviiThe Eleventh Grade Hadith and Islamic Culture textbook for boys in the Management, Social Studies, Natural History, and Technical Studies track instructs Muslims not to greet unbelievers and not to extend courtesies to them.• “The greeting ‘Peace be upon you’ is specifically for believers. It cannot be said to others.”cxviii• “If one comes to a place where there is a mixture of Muslims and infidels, one should offer a greeting intended for the Muslims.”cxix• “Do not yield to them [Christians and Jews] on a narrow road out of honor and respect.”cxxThe Eleventh Grade Hadith textbook for boys in the Management, Social Studies, Natural History, and Technical Studies track also includes a selective history lesson on “The Crusader Threat,” which it identifies as the “origin of the clash between the Muslims and the Christians.” It does not mention the Muslim conquest of the Middle East or the Muslim invasions of Europe before the Crusades, or any example of peaceful coexistence between Muslims and the West, or any example of United States military support of and cooperation with Saudi Arabia or any other Muslim country. It teaches that the Crusader threat began with the first Crusade in 1095 and continues in modern times with Christian proselytizing, Orientalist studies, and colonialism. It includes “raising women’s issues” as part of the modern crusade. Various medical missions and Christian schools, universities, radio programs and social services in the Middle East are cited by name as part of the modern crusade. Most troubling, it maintains that the crusades have not ended. In this, it finds an echo in the declarations of Osama bin Laden, who has identified his enemy as the “Zionist-Crusaders.”• “The new approach to the crusades took several forms, including:1. Proselytizing (Christianization): undertaken by the church and supported by Christian governments.2. Orientalism: undertaken by scholars and intellectuals to serve the church and Christian governments.3. Military colonialism.”cxxi• “Areas of Missionary Activity1. Health servicesThis activity consists of establishing Christian hospitals and clinics and sending out traveling doctors. As one of the Christianizers said, ‘Where you find people, you find pain. And where there's pain, there's a need for a doctor. And where there's a need for a doctor, there's an appropriate opportunity for missionary activity [Christianization].’

The establishment of churches, monasteries, and conventsThis has taken place in every Islamic country where there are Christians, even if they can be counted on the fingers of one hand. They have even established churches in countries where there are no Christians among the original inhabitants.3. The establishment of schoolsThey founded many schools in the Islamic world at various educational levels. These include: the American Universities of Beirut and Cairo, the Jesuit University, Robert College in Istanbul, Gordon [Memorial] College in Khartoum, and others too numerous to mention.4. Social servicesThese include homes for orphans, the elderly, widows, divorced women, etc.5. The establishment of radio stations broadcasting to Muslim countries in their languagesThe radio station Voice of Forgiveness, Radio Cyprus in Nicosia, Radio Monte Carlo, Voice of the Good News Radio in Addis Ababa, and Vatican Radio.6. Printed materials and books calling people to Christianity.”cxxiiA Twelfth Grade textbook on Hadith and Islamic Culture for boys in the Management, Social Studies, Natural History, and Technical Studies track contains a chapter entitled “Jihad in the Path of God.” It explains various meanings of jihad and examines their application. While, as the text explains, one of the meanings of jihad is self-perfection or “wrestling with the spirit,” it acknowledges a more militant meaning as well. This discussion does not mention the ban against coercion in Islam, or clarify whether infidels can be militarily forced to submit to the “call.” In fact, in repeated statements, it justifies a militant jihad for the purpose of spreading the faith. The word qital, translated here as “battle,” is derived from qatala, “to kill” and is virtually never used metaphorically. • “Jihad in the path of God – which consists of battling against unbelief, oppression, injustice, and those who perpetrate it – is the summit of Islam. This religion arose through jihad and through jihad was its banner raised high. It is one of the noblest acts, which brings one closer to God, and one of the most magnificent acts of obedience to God.”cxxiii• “Muslim scholars have agreed that jihad to spread the faith of God is an obligation, but it is a collective obligation. If a sufficient number of people undertake it, those who remain have not committed a sin.”cxxiv• “God has forbidden Muslims to go to jihad en masse and urged them to mobilize a group from each community of them that will undertake the obligation of jihad, which frees the other group [from this obligation].”cxxv• “When is battle jihad in the path of God? Battle can only pursue two aims: To fulfill an order from God, sacrifice in His path, spread the creed of monotheism,

This is jihad in the path of God.”cxxvi• “Jihad continues until the Day of Resurrection.”cxxvii• “It is part of God’s wisdom that he made the clash between truth and falsehood continue until the Day of Resurrection. As long as this clash endures, jihad continues.”cxxviii

31APPENDIX BTHE ISLAMIC SAUDI ACADEMYThe Islamic SaudiAcademy is the American branch of a worldwide network of 19 schools supervised and funded by the Saudi state. The chairman of the Academy’s board is the Saudi ambassador to Washington, Prince Turki Al-Faisal. Its tuition is underwritten by the Saudi government.cxxixIt teaches Islamic studies from the same radical Wahhabi textbooks that are analyzed in this study. (Some of the textbooks reviewed in this study were provided by families connected with the Academy). “The curriculum of the Arabic Language, Islamic Studies, and Arabic Social Studies and Civics is based on the Curriculum of the Saudi Ministry of Education. Other curricula such as Science, Math, Social Studies, English and Computer Science are similar to programs of study offered by the Fairfax CountySchools in Virginia.”cxxxEstablished in 1984, its main campus (Grades 2-12) is located in Alexandria, Virginia, on the outskirts of Washington, D.C.cxxxiIts mission is “to be the premier educational institution” for the Muslim community.cxxxiiThe school enrolls over a thousand students each year. Like other Saudi academies abroad, enrollment is open both to the children of Saudi diplomats and to other students who have no connection the kingdom. All Saudi academies abroad, with the exception of those in the United States and Great Britain, utilize the same Saudi Ministry of Education curriculum used by public schools in Saudi Arabia itself. In the United States, the Saudi Academy has a dual curriculum, pairing Saudi Ministry of Education curriculum for courses in Islamic studies, civic studies and Arabic with local county curricula for math, computers, science and English.cxxxiiiIn 2002, the Washington Post provided a rare glimpse into what is taught at the Academy: “Then [the students] file into their Islamic studies class, where the textbooks tell them the Day of Judgment can’t come until Jesus Christ returns to Earth, breaks the cross and converts everyone to Islam, and until Muslims start attacking Jews.”cxxxivAn American citizen who was the valedictorian of his class there was convicted on March 29, 2006 of plotting to assassinate President George W. Bush and of being a member of al Qaeda, and sentenced to 30 years imprisonment.cxxxvThe Academy is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Commission for International and Trans Regional Accreditation.Eighteen other Saudi schools, each chaired by the local ambassador from Saudi Arabia, are located in throughout the world, in Algiers, Ankara, Beijing, Berlin, Bonn, Djibouti, Islamabad, Istanbul, Jakarta, Karachi, Kuala Lumpur, London, Madrid, Moscow, Paris, Rabat, Rome, and Tunis.cxxxviiThis report cites numerous examples, including the following from the Saudi Foreign Minister before the Council on Foreign Relations in New York on September 23, 2005: “We have gone through a whole program of going into the educational system from top to bottom, from schools, teachers, books, and we

...close all Muslim schools...
Thanks Abrog8 - I just sent them a question as to why the USA is allowing Saudi Arabia to fund mosques and schools when we all know it is their radical wahabbism that they are pushing.
The sad thing is we all know nothing will come out of this and it'll be brainwash...er...whoops I mean business as usual.
More on this, with some background links here:
http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/018497.php
We all can pretty much assume that nothing will come of this. If it does we will all be shocked.
But while this committee is on this subject it would be great to ask the question....Why is a foreign goverment paying for religous schools on our soil?
And WHY does that same foreign goverment not allow OUR religous schools on their soil?
It should be called into question that Saudi Arabia is in violations on their own soil of U.N. and International Religous Freedom Laws. Which this should stop and disallow them from sending their religion here when they don't allow ours their.
Do their school maps show Israel or Palestine on them?

Some of them were made to worship the devil, and not God, through consecration, sacrifice, prayer, appeals for help, and other types of worship. Some of the Jews worship the devil. Likewise, some members of this nation worship devil, and not God.”lxxxvii• - From Borg’s post above.
Demonic teachings directed with hate and fear towards any group, whether religious, ethnic, or racial, is socially unacceptable intolerance, against our laws, and should be considered a hate campaign. Saudi or Muslim hatred of Jews is so irrational it defies understanding. It’s as if they suffer from the most pathological case of inferiority complex, so they feel compelled to vent their hatreds towards those who make them feel inferior. Is there any other way to understand this psychologically? If they see the devil in Jews, or ‘infidels’, it must be a severe case of projecting onto others what they see in themselves. Abrahamic faith? It’s a lie. It’s a demonic cult.
This episode with the Saudi school texts review is a good time to separate the bad seed of their politically inspired teachings of hate, which is against the law, and their supremacist teachings of world domination, from any legitimate religious teachings they may have left, those (from this ‘religion of peace’) that do not teach hate. This opportunity presents itself here for the US government, and other world organizations, to card and discard what such hate poisons are doing to young minds attending Saudi funded schools. More importantly, this campaign of calling Jews devil worshippers should be made widely public. Aside from being irrational and idiotic, this fear of Jews or any other group does not belong in any school operating within our United States, not only because it is morally wrong, but because it encourages blind fanaticism of hate against others. It’s illegal.
This opportunity now opens to call the Saudis, and their Islamic followers, on challenging them on the issue of ‘separation of church and state’ as per our US Constitution’s First Amendment. It is time to challenge them on all issues where they feel they are ‘supremacist’ to our laws and social norms, and expose them for the whole world to see, that they are truly hate mongers who profess an inferior cult, unacceptable within any civilized society. The time for the government to address this serious issue to combat teachings of hate coming out of Islam is now. Separate out the bad seeds of their religion from the whole cloth, and if nothing remains, then close them down and ship them out.
I'm sure George W will vouch for the Saudi funded school. Nothing here, move along.
Borg;
Based on what you present above, the entire school should be closed until the entire "faith" of islam is removed from this teaching "school".
Why do any have to ask? What is hidden?
The book only aids in teaching what they believe
and promote, they can just pull the book and still teach this "faith".
Ban islam in the U.S.A...
I assume that in any country that has an Islamic school owned, run and funded by the Saudi government, the children are being taught that Jews are apes and Christians are pigs. That's certainly the case in the UK:
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23384657-details/We+do+use+books+that+call+Jews+%27apes%27+admits+head+of+Islamic+school/article.do
They teach that Jews are apes and Chrisians are pigs. And that when Jesus returns he will break the cross and kill the pig. And that will not happen until the muslims kill the Jews. Is the pig Jesus will kill the Christian?
How can this continue to be ignored?
Islam is anti-Constitutional, anti-Bill of Rights, anti-secular government, and a seditious ideology promoting a theocratic tyranny.
Let's build more madrassas!
" A congressionally mandated panel that promotes religious freedom is recommending the Bush administration close a Virginia-based Islamic school run by the Saudi government if school officials don't comply..."
Could someone please show me the part of the constitution that says you need permission from the executive branch of government and the acquiescience of the accused in order to enforce our laws? Why isn't a local prosecutor having law enforcement close the subversives down, by obtaining a local court order?
Can anyone explain why there are Saudi funded schools here in the first place? Fat chance.. Isn't anybody in our government thinking?
With the Bush's so in bed with the Saudis' the possibility of this school being held up for a minute is far fetched. Bush kneels for the Sauds and we need to know why. why does Bush kneel for Mexico also. what is buried in the past that is not deeply enough underground??
